Match 1: Mirzikinian Raises His Button For The First Time; Fireworks Follow

Warwick Mirzikinian, for the first time this match, raised on the button. He made it 35,000 to play and Aubin Cazals called to see a {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop.

Cazals checked it to Mirzikinian who bet 25,000, but Cazals put in a raise to 85,000. A few moments passed before Mirzikinian called, landing the {2-Hearts} on the turn. Cazals bet 210,000, but was met with a raise to 575,000 by Mirzikinian. A call from Cazals put the pot at well above a million in chips.

The {A-Hearts} river fell and both players checked it quickly. They both had monster hands, but the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} of Cazals was second best to the {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} of Mirzikinian.
